OAR 411-054-0025 (4) Reasonable Precautions (4) Reasonable precautions must be exercised against any condition that could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents. This Rule is not met as evidenced by: Based on observation, interview, and record review, it was determined the facility failed to exercise reasonable precautions against any condition that could threaten the health, safety or welfare of residents for 2 of 2 sampled residents (#s 1 and 3) who were prescribed modified texture diets. The residents’ prescribed diets were not administered by the facility, placing them at risk of aspiration, choking and/or death. Findings include, but are not limited to: 1. Resident 1 moved into the MCC in 07/2026 with diagnoses including dementia, bladder cancer and Stage 3 kidney disease. Review of the resident’s clinical record identified the resident was prescribed a modified Level 6 diet texture. According to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI), a level 6 diet texture requires food particles to be cut into 1.5 cm by 1.5 cm pieces, tender and soft, not crunchy, require no biting and to be moist with no separate thin liquids. The food should easily mash with a fork, passing through the tines prior to the holder’s thumbnail blanching white. During breakfast meal observation on 08/18/26 at 10:45 am, the resident was served the following food items: * Full length sausage links; * Cereal with crunchy flakes, raisins and milk partially covering the dry cereal; and * A slice of French toast with pieces cut larger than 1.5 cm by 1.5 cm with a dish of syrup on the side. During an interview on 08/18/26 at 3:38 pm, Resident 1’s modified diet texture orders were discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN). Staff 2 began looking up the instructions for a Level 6 modified diet on the IDDSI website. During an interview on 08/19/26 at 9:25 am, Staff 5 (CG), who prepared the meal in the MCC kitchenette, reported care staff were not aware of the requirements for Resident 1’s modified diet and were not provided training on how to prepare a Level 6 modified diet. Staff 5 stated, “I thought we just cut it up small into bite-sized pieces.” During breakfast meal observation on 08/19/26 at 9:45 am, the resident was served sausage links cut into 2 cm pieces. During lunch meal observation on 08/19/26 at 1:07 pm, the resident was served pork that had pieces larger than 1.5 cm by 1.5 cm with pasta noodles in a sauce covering part of the noodles. The remaining noodles were dry. Prior to the meal being served to Resident 1 an observation of the plate was completed with Staff 1, Staff 2, Staff 8 (Skilled Nursing Facility Dietary Manager) and Staff 9 (ED). Staff 8 stated the meal was served at a Level 6 modified diet texture and that it was “soft and bite sized.” When asked if the soft and bite sized pieces of pork were 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm, Staff 8 replied “I don’t know.” Surveyor proceeded to complete a fork pressure test with facility staff to confirm the pork was soft and tender. The fork pressure test failed, bending the metal fork. The facility failed to provide the prescribed diet texture for the resident, which placed him/her at risk of choking, aspiration, and/or death. An immediate plan of correction was requested on 08/19/26 at 2:22 pm. The facility provided a plan of correction on 08/19/26 at 5:35 pm. The immediate risk was addressed; however, the facility will need to evaluate the overall system failure associated with the licensing violation. The need to ensure the facility exercised reasonable precautions against any condition which could threaten the health, safety or welfare of residents was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2, and Staff 9 on 08/19/26 at 2:22 pm. They acknowledged the findings. 2. Resident 3 moved into the MCC in 4/2026 with diagnoses including dementia. During the acuity interview on 08/17/26, it was reported the resident was receiving hospice services, was on a mechanically soft diet and dependent on staff for meal assistance. Review of Resident 3’s clinical record identified prescriber diet orders dated 08/13/26 for pureed texture with thin liquids. During an interview on 08/19/26 at 9:20 am, Staff 3 (MT) reported Resident 3 had French toast “cut into small pieces, but that was before we knew about the consistency and about no bread or syrup. We didn’t know s/he changed to puree. Honestly, I don’t know what level [diet order] exactly s/he was before [the order changed to puree].” An immediate plan of correction was requested on 08/19/26 at 2:22 pm. The facility provided a plan of correction on 08/19/26 at 5:35 pm. The immediate risk was addressed; however, the facility will need to evaluate the overall system failure associated with the licensing violation. The need to ensure the facility exercised reasonable precautions against any condition which could threaten the health, safety, or welfare of residents was discussed with Staff 1, Staff 2, and Staff 9 on 08/19/26 at 2:22 pm. They acknowledged the findings.

The findings include, but are not limited to: Resident 1 moved into the MCC in 07/2026 with diagnoses including dementia, bladder cancer and Stage 3 kidney disease. During the acuity interview on 08/17/26, it was reported the facility was responsible for catheter care management. With permission from the resident, Staff 4 (CG) and Staff 5 (CG) were observed providing ADL care on 08/19/26 at 9:30 am. Upon entering the resident’s unit, the catheter bag was observed hanging over the foot of the bed and touching the ground. Staff 4 donned cleaned gloves and began removing dirty clothing, including socks worn the previous day. The CG stopped removing the dirty clothing and started looking around, opening several drawers looking for alcohol swabs. Once the alcohol swabs were found she obtained a urinal, cleaned the drain tube with an alcohol swab while wearing soiled gloves, drained the urine from the drainage bag into the urinal. She walked into the bathroom, dumped the urine into the toilet and removed the soiled gloves. She placed clean gloves on without performing hand hygiene. Staff 5 removed the resident’s soiled pants and Staff 4 removed the residents’ soiled incontinent brief. With the same soiled gloves on, Staff 4 placed a clean incontinent brief on the resident and assisted with running the drainage bag and tubing down the resident’s pant leg and pulling the residents pants up just above the knees. Staff 4 and 5 assisted the resident to stand while the drainage bag fell on the floor. While still wearing soiled gloves, Staff 4 pulled the residents pants up to his/her waist and proceeded to remove a dirty shirt and place a clean shirt on the resident. During the process of undressing and dressing the resident, Staff 4 stepped on the drainage bag and tubing twice. Staff 4 and 5 completed the transfer into the wheelchair. Staff 5, while wearing soiled gloves, was observed running her fingers through the resident’s hair attempting to straighten the back of the resident’s hair before placing a hat on him/her. Staff 4 picked up the soiled brief, threw it in the trash can and proceeded to place a clean disposable incontinence pad on the resident’s bed. She then made the bed while continuing to wear the soiled gloves. Once completed she doffed the soiled gloves, placed them in the trash and was seen taking the trash to the laundry room, coming back out and walking into the kitchenette before she performed hand hygiene. Staff 5 was observed escorting the resident by wheelchair out to the living room for breakfast. Staff 5 still had the same soiled gloves on, and the drainage bag was dragging onto the floor. Staff 5 removed her gloves and was not seen performing hand hygiene. The need to ensure staff followed infection prevention protocols during all ADL care was discussed with Staff 1 (Administrator) and Staff 2 (RN) on 08/20/26 at approximately 1:00 pm.
